1. Thermostat - Is it stuck?
2. Thermoswitch - Is it sending a signal through the relay to activate your fan?
3. Fan Motor - Is this activating before you overheat?
4. Headgasket - What is your compression and is your oil "milky"?
5. Did you "bleed" the system after you replaced the radiator?
6. Have you pressure tested the rad. cap?

More information please.

chances are you didn't bleed (AKA burb) the cooling system. let the car cool, open the radiator cap, turn the car on, add fluid until it's topped off, put on cap, problem should be solved.
